Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

A-Ning's question confused Wuxie Erzhang Monk. He glanced at A-Ning doubtfully and asked, "What did Yuchen teach me?"

"...It's okay." A Ning shook her head, not intending to repeat the question.

Wuxie had been lying there without any intention of taking any action. It was impossible for A Ning to spend so much time with him. After all, the temperature was at its lowest and she urgently needed to keep warm, so she had to shrink the circle of stones by half.

A Ning lay on the far side, watching Wu Xie slowly move into the nest, frowning and believing that he really had no strength.

……

The next day, Wu Xie was awakened by the strong sunlight. He raised his hands to block the sunlight and struggled to open his eyes.

After getting used to it for a while, he sat up and looked at Ah Ning beside him, but except for the traces of someone lying down in that position, Ah Ning had long since disappeared.

"I'll go." Wuxie panicked for a moment and quickly stood up to find A Ning.

He had just gotten used to the dizziness caused by the sudden rise when he spotted Ning sitting behind a stone a few steps away from him.

"A Ning?"

A Ning turned around, her stern eyes full of murderous intent. She came to Wu Xie's side, quickly pulled out the dagger from her waist and placed it across Wu Xie's neck.

"What are you doing?!" Wuxie took two steps back in fright and asked.

"I said, I will do whatever it takes to keep myself alive." A Ning's beautiful eyes were full of coldness, and the look she looked at Wu Xie had no warmth at all, "And killing you is the only way I can survive now. Method."

"..." Wuxie swallowed and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Want to try?"

"..."

"If you really want to live, then do it." Wuxie exposed his neck, closed his eyes and looked like he was being slaughtered, "Kill me, and you can replenish your strength and go out."

"..." Aning's hand holding the dagger shook, but she resisted the urge and put down the knife. She turned her back to Wuxie and said, "If it were in the past, I would never be merciful."

After saying that, he walked forward quickly as if running away.

When Wuxie heard the footsteps, she quietly opened one eye to check the situation. When she saw the figure gradually going away, she patted her chest and let out a long breath: "I was scared to death..."

The two of them walked for a long time under the scorching sun. Ah Ning took off the ten copper coins bracelet on her wrist, untied the seven copper coins, and after walking for a while, she put down one to serve as a road sign.

"You collected this with great difficulty, and you just left it here?" Wuxie couldn't bear to see the copper coins in Aning's hand getting less and less.

"Both of our lives are worth more than this." Aning put down the last one. "The only hope now is that the person looking for us can see it, otherwise we may not have a chance of survival."

Wuxie sighed, knowing in his heart that this was the only way he could do it now, so he said nothing and continued to move forward.

……

Qin Yuchen and the others returned to the stone pile and after Fatty's explanation, they finally understood the rules of the stone pile.

After walking for a while following the pile of stones, Fatty solved the Qimen Dunjia hidden in the Devil City from every fork in the road.

It was not easy to find the location of the ancient ship.

"Huo, it seems it's not unreasonable for Third Master to ask us to follow A Ning and the others." Fatty said.

"Well, Ah Ning and his gang do have a good way of clearing the way." Panzi nodded in agreement.

"Is this camp too quiet?" The fat man took out his telescope and stood on the rock to check the situation. "Not good! Something happened."

"Quick!" The fat man hurriedly jumped down from above and rushed straight into the camp without giving any explanation to the three of them.

"What's wrong, Fatty?" Panzi also ran after Fatty, asking about the situation as he ran.

Tan Yuchen and Zhang Qiling looked at each other and followed quickly.

The open space under the ancient ship was in a mess, with tents tilted here and there, broken jars scattered everywhere, and more than a dozen people lying on the ground unable to breathe.

The four of them didn't have time to check on the others, so they quickly dispersed to check on these people.

The fat man opened the last corpse and breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced around and said, "Fortunately, I didn't see innocence."

"I didn't go with him just this time!"

"This is good news." Tan Yuchen patted the fat man on the shoulder.

"That's true." The fat man thought about it and thought that it was indeed the case.

Panzi also came out of the tent at this moment. He said: "Look at the things in these tents. Ah Ning and the others left in a hurry, otherwise they wouldn't have left without any equipment."

"Then what's going on?" The fat man wondered.

Qin Yuchen knelt down and looked at the wounds on the body and said, "This wound looks like it was bitten by an insect."

"insect?"

Tan Yuchen did not answer the fat man's question, but opened another corpse that was blocked by clothes. As soon as he turned the corpse over, he saw the Corpse King climbing out of the collar.

"!" Zhang Qiling reacted quickly. Almost as soon as Tan Yuchen stood up, he pulled him over to protect him, then drew out his knife and cut off the Corpse King.

"Here I go, is this the same thing again?" The fat man cursed when he saw Zhang Qiling retracting his sword as soon as the afterimage appeared.

"It's not safe here, let's go first."

Zhang Qiling held Tan Yuchen's hand tightly, glanced at the corpse dragon king broken into two parts, and said in a deep voice.

After speaking, he didn't wait for the other three people's answers, but turned around and left with Tan Yuchen.

"Hey, these two little lovers!" The fat man put away the dagger he drew out and said jokingly, "Not bad, not bad."

"What?" Panzi was shocked by his words, "You mean that kind of relationship between brother and Master Qin!?"

Panzi pointed at the retreating figure, raised his voice and looked shocked.

"Go, go, don't ask around if you don't understand." The fat man glared at Panzi with disgust, wondering why there were still people who couldn't see such an obvious relationship between the two.

He quickly made a sign of ten on his chest at the corpses, clasped his hands together and bowed, muttered "Amitabha" and then trotted after the two people who were almost out of sight.
